Edinburgh Napier or Stirling University?

I am applying for 4 universities that offer a course specialising in Criminology (Napier, Stirling, Abertay and UWS)
The only two I’m really considering are Napier and Stirling and I know I’ve got the grades to get into both but I’m conflicted on which one to choose. I went to the Napier open day in Sighthill and absolutely hated the location of the campus and it just looked overall depressing. The accommodation on the other hand was brand new, modern and in a great location right by the city centre (a 20 minutes bus ride to the campus.) I absolutely love Edinburgh, I know the city well and lots of my family live there, and I know the nightlife wouldn’t fall at-all short.
The Stirling campus is BEAUTIFUL from what I’ve seen and I’m going to the open day on the 27th, I also know that the university is overall better than Napier. Only problem is I don’t want to be stuck in a place where the social aspects are dead (clubs, city life etc.) I’ve lived all my life in the country so I want to move somewhere busier and lively but idk if Stirling offers those aspects as much as Edinburgh would. I’ve also never even been to Stirling so pretty much blind of city knowledge :/ HELP
What did you decide in the end? What made you pick one over the other and was it the right choice?
